Genetic Basis For Sexual Preference
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page exploration of the
genetic basis for homosexuality verses heterosexuality. Discusses the
advancements in genetic research which link chromosomal differences with
sexual behavior. Emphasizes the link between the X chromosome in men
and sexual behavior. Discusses potential differences in brain
development between heterosexual men and homosexual men. Concludes that
while there is no incontestable proof regarding a genetic basis for sexual behavior there are numerous tentative findings which would suggest this is the case, Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Genetic Component to Behavior
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the long-standing controversy between scientists over whether or not human behavior is largely controlled by genetic inheritance, or if behavior is purely a product of environmental influences. Referring to current scientific data, the writer argues that, currently, data favors the genetic side of this debate. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Genetic Determinants of an Individual's State of Happiness
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the factors which can influence our state of happiness. Contends that while some of these are obvious, such as the presence or absence of psychological conditions, and others are less obvious aspects such as sexual fulfillment. Details the importance of genetics to one aspect of our behaviors which can influence happiness, homosexuality. Contends that the struggle between societal mores and the genetic propensity for certain behaviors can have a tremendous impact on our state of happiness. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Genetic Drift / Quick Change, Quicker Reversal
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper that argues in support of science's use of genetic drift over natural selection to make quicker shifts in genetically drifted and naturally selected traits. The paper works from the viewpoint that genetic drift often leads to dominant gene traits and, therefore, extinction, whereas natural selection leads to environmental control by nature and seeks to provide examples throughout history where genetic drift has also resulted in a quicker change that natural selection. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Genetic Engineering In Fruit / Benefits & Concerns Of Biomolecular Tomatoes
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page paper that provides an overview of recent information on the use of genetic engineering for improving the quality of fruit crops, especially tomatoes. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Genetic Engineering of Food Crops: Demographic, Geographic, Economic, and Environmental Impacts
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page assessment of the potential negative impacts of genetic engineering as it is applied towards food crops. The author contends our production of genetically engineered crops will ultimately impact not just our population but the world population as a whole. Furthermore, this production has a high likelihood of ultimately causing pollution, endangering animals, and resulting in the extinction of certain plants and crops. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
